Last month, we were delighted to welcome the horticulture team from Highgrove Gardens to our Heritage Seed Library for a guided tour of our growing space and seed saving facilities, as well as the opportunity to explore our demonstration garden.

It was a wonderful opportunity to share our passion for organic growing, exchange ideas and knowledge, and celebrate the importance of preserving and growing heritage varieties. 🌱

We’re already looking forward to meeting again soon!

Did you know that lots of the food in your kitchen is grown using peat? Let's get peat out of our homes and off our plates! 🍽️

We're delighted to support the Peat-Free Partnership's campaign to help you remove hidden peat from your supermarket shop.

📢 It's time to ask your supermarket what they’re doing to remove peat, so you can enjoy peat-free food and help save peatlands for people and wildlife. Find an email template at 👉peatfreepartnership.org.uk

You can explore our polytunnels and outdoor beds to see the methods we use to isolate and pollinate crops to ensure varieties are conserved 'true-to-type' for future generations. And we'll introduce you to a few of the unique and unusual varieties in the Collection, as well as provide a sneak preview of our growing trials of recently rediscovered heritage varieties.
